USEA National Adult Team Challenge (ATC)

The USEA Adult Team Challenges have been generously sponsored by the Chronicle of the Horse for more than 20 years. The Challenges have given adult riders not competing at the highest levels of the sport to compete in a friendly team competition.  In previous years the Challenges were held annually in different locations (Eastern, Central and Western) around the United States.  For Adult Riders that have participated in the events, they have always been an exciting way to team up with fellow adult riders in your Area to compete nationally.

Unlike our Regional Adult Team Challenge program where we mix levels to field teams, the National ATC requires Areas to field a team all competing at the same level (Beginner Novice Team, Novice Team, Training Team, Preliminary Team).

If you are entered in the AECs, you may also participate on a National ATC team.

Qualifications for Entry into the USEA Adult Team Championships (National)

  • The qualifying period for each horse and rider pair is March 29, 2017 – August 20, 2018
  • Horses and riders must be members/registered with the USEA at the time of gaining qualifications, and during the USEA Adult Team Championships.
  • All riders must be 22 years of age or older (born in or before 1996) and a member of the Area 1 Adult Rider Program
  • Closing dates will be consistent with the USEA American Eventing Championships
  • Each horse and rider pair must have three cross-country rounds with no jumping penalties at recognized USEA horse trials at the ATC level that they wish to compete. None of the qualifying cross-country rides may include dangerous riding penalties.
  • Each Area can have up to eight teams of four riders at the USEA Adult Team Championship.
  • All teams should be coordinated through the Area Adult Rider Coordinator (adultriders@area1usea.org)
  • Mixed Area teams are allowed and encouraged. All horse and rider pairs without a full team of 3-4 members must be identified by the Area Adult Rider Coordinator  (adultriders@area1usea.org) as qualified and willing to compete, and submitted to the USEA for inclusion on a mixed team

Area 1 National ATC Voucher program
